SFP28 transceiver CBO SFP28-25G-SR-LO-BO 25 Gbps multimode, up to 100 m

CBO SFP28-25G-SR-LO-BO is a 25 Gbps SFP28 optical transceiver intended for short-reach multimode fiber links up to 100 meters. The module supports 25 Gigabit Ethernet and similar high-speed protocols in a compact hot-pluggable SFP28 form factor. It is designed for integration into switches, servers and other network equipment where space, power efficiency and reliable optical connectivity are required.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a standardized SFP28 interface for compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment and supports multimode fibers for common data center cabling. Its compact design enables hot-plug installation and replacement without powering down systems. The module is optimized for low power consumption and consistent signal performance across the supported reach, helping maintain throughput and reduce operational interruptions.

Suitable for

• 25 Gigabit Ethernet links within data centers over multimode fiber
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch interconnects up to 100 m
• High-density aggregation and leaf-spine topologies
• Equipment upgrades requiring SFP28 ports with short-reach optical connectivity

Key specifications

• Nominal data rate: 25 Gbps
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber
• Maximum link length: up to 100 meters (multimode)
• Form factor: SFP28 hot-pluggable module
• Use case: Short-reach optical transmission
• Typical application: 25 Gigabit Ethernet and compatible protocols

How to use

Install the SFP28 transceiver into a compatible SFP28 optical port on a switch, router or server while the host device supports the required 25 Gbps protocols. Connect the transceiver to multimode fiber cabling using the appropriate optical connector type on the fiber patch cord. Verify link status and operational parameters via the host device management interface or diagnostics. For safe hot-plugging, follow the equipment manufacturer's guidance on module insertion and removal.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber and compliant patch cords for best signal integrity at the specified reach. Verify wavelength and link budgets against the connected devices' specifications. Perform insertion and removal in electrostatically safe conditions and avoid bending fiber beyond recommended radii to maintain performance.
